A robust mixed-Eulerian-Lagrangian modeling is presented for the simulation of violent bubble motion, which is characterized by implementing a hybrid surface interpolation for calculating the material velocity. A linear averaging approximation is deployed for the parts of the surface where the change of the surface normal within the element size is not small, and a polynomial scheme coupled with the weighted moving least squares method for the rest of the surface. Solid angles on the free…

Simulation of a fully submerged bubble bursting through a free surface
Numerical investigation of three-dimensional bubble dynamics
This work is devoted to a numerical investigation of three-dimensional gas-vapor bubble dynamics. Bubble oscillations in ambient unbounded fluid and interaction of the bubble with different inclined…
Bubble dynamics in a compressible liquid in contact with a rigid boundary
TLDR
The computations correlate well with experiments for both the first and second cycles of oscillation, and the wall effects are modelled using the imaging method, which shows clear potential to damage the boundary.
The motion of a 3D toroidal bubble and its interaction with a free surface near an inclined boundary
The numerical modelling of 3D toroidal bubble dynamics is a challenging problem due to the complex topological transition of the flow domain, and physical and numerical instabilities, associated with…
Vortex ring modelling of toroidal bubbles
During the collapse of a bubble near a surface, a high-speed liquid jet often forms and subsequently impacts upon the opposite bubble surface. The jet impact transforms the originally…
Numerical and Experimental Study of Bubble Impact on a Solid Wall
The dynamic characteristics of a bubble initially very close to a rigid wall, or with a very narrow gap, are different from those of a bubble away from the wall. Especially at the contraction stage,…

Numerical investigation of bubble dynamics at a corner
This paper is concerned with bubble dynamics at a corner formed by two flat rigid boundaries associated with applications in ultrasonic cleaning and cavitation damage. This phenomenon is modeled…

TLDR
The computational study is extended to model cavitation bubble growth and collapse phases in a forward stagnation point flow as a model of reattachment of a boundary layer; a region where severe cavitation damage is often observed.
